Assign a class to track a transaction

In QuickBooks, you can create classes that you assign to transactions. This
lets you track account balances by department, business office or location,
separate properties you own, or any other meaningful breakdown of your
business.

Many business owners have certain segments of their business that they want to keep a close eye on. By using the class tracking feature, you can define these segments and track their associated account balances on invoices, bills, and other documents.

Businesses with different departments or locations can use classes to report account balances for each department.

For example, if you had a restaurant with three locations, you might create
an Uptown, a Midtown, and a Downtown class for tracking account balances by
location. A farmer might create a class for each enterprise—for example,
Corn, Hogs, and Soybeans. At the end of an accounting period, the restaurant
could create separate reports for each location. Likewise, the farmer could
create separate reports for each enterprise.
